Chapter 1168 - Celestial Venerable Yue’s lantern (1/2)
The person who had destroyed Qin Mu’s sacrificial altar, and completely wiped out the two Celestial Venerables’ carriages and eighteen heavenly dragons was none other than the incomparably powerful Divine Artifact Celestial Venerable Yu!
“The number of Divine Artifact Celestial Venerable Yu is limited. Even though the Patriarch Creation Palace has created many smaller Divine Artifact Celestial Venerable Yu, up until now, only ten had the power to destroy heaven and earth.”
God Sovereign Lang Xuan’s expression wavered, and he said in a hoarse voice, “And now there’s a eleventh one! Who exactly created this eleventh Divine Artifact Celestial Venerable Yu?”
“Of course it’s Mistress Yuanmu.”
Celestial Venerable Gong looked around and said, “We can’t find any traces here. Our treasure carriage and Celestial Venerable Mu’s sacrificial altar seem to have been completely destroyed. Only Celestial Empress and her sister have such means.”
Heavenly Lady Yan and Heavenly Lady Qiang nodded. “Only Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu’s Ruins of End divine art can completely destroy matter.”
The eight Celestial Venerables had worried expressions.
Divine King Zu whispered, “But Mistress Yuanmu has already been killed by Celestial Venerable Ling…”
Everyone was silent.
In Celestial Heavens, there was indeed a eleventh Celestial Venerable; this Celestial Venerable was an ancient god born from the Dao, Mistress Yuanmu, who possessed the power to destroy matter!
Qin Mu suddenly asked, “Could Mistress Yuanmu be Celestial Venerable Huo or Celestial Venerable Xu?”
Everyone was astonished.
Qin Mu blinked his eyes and said, “Among the ten Celestial Venerables, only the two of them aren’t here. They are the biggest suspects!”
Celestial Venerable Hao coughed and said indifferently, “Celestial Venerable Mu, don’t try to muddy the waters. They are leading the army of Celestial Heavens to attack the Great Void. They can’t split themselves, so it can’t be them.”
Qin Mu showed a faint smile and didn’t say anything else.
His goal was indeed to muddy the waters. Even if Celestial Venerable Hao said those words, it is difficult for his heart to not suspect Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu. As long as he did, Qin Mu’s words wouldn’t be useless.
“Troubled times.”
Celestial Venerable Hong sighed with disappointment and sorrow, sighing ruefully, “These ancient gods are dead but not gone. When can we fully remove them and return peace to the common people? Sigh, let’s go!”
His sleeves fluttered in the wind as he escaped into the distance.
The other Celestial Venerables also left, leaving Qin Mu there.
Qin Mu’s face was black as he hurried on his way.
The starry sky was vast. Even though his speed wasn’t slow, he was still much slower than these Celestial Venerables. His body transformed into a stream of light, and after sprinting for several months, he finally met the first star.
“If I use my two legs to travel, I’ll probably need over ten years to return to Celestial Heavens!”
Qin Mu composed himself and suddenly remembered that he still had a lantern that Celestial Venerable Yue had given him. His heart stirred slightly, “Celestial Venerable Yue established her path using the art of space, and became a first generation Celestial Venerable. Perhaps her lantern may hold some secrets?”
He took out the lantern and held it in his hands. His dense vital qi stimulated the lantern. Whenever the lantern’s light shone, the starry sky would shrink under his feet.
Under the illumination of this light, the sun in the distance also became incomparably small, as if it could be crossed with a single step.
Qin Mu was stunned. He tried to take a step forward and saw that he had crossed this solar system in a single step. After taking dozens of steps, he had crossed a nebula.
“This divine art… worthy of the title Celestial Venerable!”
He carried the lantern and walked forward. As he walked through the boundless galaxy, he couldn’t help exclaiming endlessly in admiration.
The lantern that Celestial Venerable Yue gave him was indeed a treasure worthy of a Celestial Venerable. It was truly admirable
“Celestial Venerable Yue’s divine arts is so remarkable, so what caused her legs to be crippled? Why can’t she be cured?”
Qin Mu was bewildered. He then remembered the painting that Celestial Venerable Yue had given him. That painting had been drawn by Qin Mu and given to Celestial Venerable Yue. In the peach forest, Celestial Venerable Yue had given that painting to him.
“I still have two more chances to return to the past. I plan to use one chance to rescue Celestial Venerable Ling. For the other chance, I might be able to meet Celestial Venerable Yue…”
He carried the lantern and travelled through the starry sky. He raised his hand to take out the egg of Grand Beginning and carefully studied the Dao sound coming from it.
